No, actually, he does not have a point. What you and Tariq are saying is, in effect, "if you haven't had the exact same experience as myself, how can you be any use to me?" Believe it or not, someone with a brain, and some effort, who actually gives any bit of a fuck can sit with you, talk with you, and do the same with many others, and actually figure something out that benefits everyone . . . even if the plan doesn't give you everything. That's the problem with Trumpites . . . any plan that gives everyone real opportunities takes away from them the old, already mostly defunct state of this nation that gave them access to anything they wanted, because white Christian men could just take whatever they pleased from everyone. Or more accurately, it was taken for them.
This is one thing in which Trumpites and various Neo-Nazis are actually correct about . . . we do not improve this nation by taking everything from white men and giving it to everyone else. The only part where they're wrong is that they think this is what's actually happening. Instead, whereas for many decades it had been that black people could be legally excluded from schools, shops, and even entire neighborhoods, and could even be murdered with impunity for so much as looking in the general direction of such school, shop, or neighborhood, now black people are allowed in these places as long as they otherwise follow the laws . . . like white people have to. This is equality . . . everyone has to follow the same laws.
Now Tariq wants to come along and create even more division, and you want to support it? Perhaps one day we'll have things like you want, where any foreigner has to stay in their place . . . just like your ancestors, and Tariq's ancestors as well.
